China: 10% diesel wordt Biodiesel

"China aims to use 6.7 million tonnes of ethanol and 11 million tonnes of biodiesel by 2010, meeting 10 percent of its forecast transport fuel demand, a government economist said on Thursday.

The country's emphasis will be to develop ethanol from cassava, sweet potato and corn, and biodiesel from animal and vegetable waste oil, said Wang Zhongying, director for the Centre for Renewable Energy Development at the policy-setting National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). "
